## What is Avast?

Avast is a world-renowned antivirus software with more than 400 million users worldwide. It comes with a free version and two paid versions. The free version has limited features and is sufficient for you if you only use it to prevent malware and ransomware. The paid versions, Avast Premium Security and Avast Ultimate, are more powerful and can protect your Mac more comprehensively. But the rich features also mean a high price.

Avast does protect your Mac from viruses, but it also frustrates you. When you try to do a deep scan of your Mac with Avast, it performs poorly. In addition, it constantly spams you about adding other services you might not want or need, which is really annoying. Want to uninstall it completely? Read on.

## 8 Notable Features of macOS Monterey

### 1. FaceTime and SharePlay

In macOS Monterey, FaceTime has many new features, such as SharePlay, Portrait mode, Spatial Audio, and so on.

Among these new features, the SharePlay feature is the most notable one. With it, you're able to share videos, songs, and screens with your friends while making FaceTime calls with them. 
Inspired by the Portrait mode on iPhone, the Portrait mode of FaceTime can blur the background and put the focus on you. 

The Spatial Audio feature makes the individual voice sound like it comes from the direction each person is on the screen. In addition, its Mic mode can isolate the noise in the background, making your voice sound loud and clear.

![macOS Monterey Feature - FaceTime and SharePlay](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/facetime_and_shareplay_23a728e08c.png)

**Note**: The Portrait mode is exclusive to M1 Macs.

### 2. Universal Control

Universal control is one of the most compelling features of macOS Monterey. It integrates your iPad with Mac and allows you to use a single keyboard, cursor, or trackpad across devices. No need to set up. Just put your iPad and Mac next to each other and move your cursor freely.

![macOS Monterey Feature - Universal Control](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/universal_control_6eec1994da.jpeg)

**Note**: The Universal Control feature supports up to three devices.

### 3. AirPlay to Mac

Finally, you can airplay any content from other Apple devices to your Mac. Whether you are watching a video, listening to a song, or making a presentation, you can cast it on your big Mac screen to get a better viewing experience and sound effects.

![macOS Monterey Feature - AirPlay to Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/airplay_to_mac_f8df057c2b.png)

### 4. Shortcuts on Mac

Shortcuts help you automate the things you often do, making your work more efficient. You can run them via Dock, Menu Bar, the Finder, Spotlight, or Siri. There are many prebuilt shortcuts in the ShortCuts Gallery, and all you need to do is find the one that meets your needs. Besides, you can also customize a shortcut and share it with friends or online communities through a private link.

![macOS Monterey Feature - Shortcuts on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/shortcuts_on_mac_a97fdf600e.png)

### 5. Redesigned Safari

In the new version of macOS, Apple has redesigned the tab bar of Safari. The redesigned tab bar takes up less space on the page and takes the colors of the site you're on. In addition, you can save and organize each tab you need into groups according to your preferences and access them on any Apple device at any time.

![macOS Monterey Feature - Redesigned Safari Tab](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/safari_tab_de29b70705.png)

### 6. Quick Note

Quick Note is a straightforward and easy-to-use function. It allows you to jot down notes wherever you're and whatever you're doing on the Mac, making it convenient for you to capture any ideas and thoughts. In supported apps, you can also add links to quick notes. When you return next time, your notes will be displayed there as thumbnails. At the same time, your quick notes will appear in the Notes, and you can easily find them on your Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

![macOS Monterey Feature - Quick Note](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/quick_note_d7ee0ab86e.png)

### 7. Focus Mode

The Focus feature is an extension of the "Do Not Disturb" feature. It helps you concentrate on what you're doing by limiting the notifications, messages, and calls. When you are using Focus, others can see your current status in Messages. If you're afraid of missing some urgent messages, you can freely set which notifications can be allowed.

![macOS Monterey Feature - Focus Mode](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/focus_mode_73e9739cd0.png)

### 8. Live Text

Live Text is a feature specific to M1 Macs and iOS 15 phones. It works the same as Google Lens, recognizing text in any image and allowing you to select, copy, and share it. And with the Translation tool of Mac, you can quickly translate any text you copy from photos into 29 languages. Currently, Live Text is accessible on photos in four places, including Photos, Screenshots, Quick Look, and Safari.

### How to Find the System Storage on Mac

Click the **Apple icon** in the menu bar, and then select **About This Mac**. In the new window, click the **Storage** tab, wait a few seconds, and you will find that the storage bar is divided into several parts, such as apps, documents, system, other, and more. Click the **Manage** button, and you can see the actual amount of space used by these categories. You may notice that the system storage takes a large part of your storage, but Apple does not allow us to access it. So what exactly is the system in Mac storage?

![Find System Storage on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/find_system_storage_on_mac_e203690023.png)

## What is the System Storage on Mac

As the name suggests, system storage contains all the data and files needed for the operation of your system. It is going to be both in the System Folder and Library Folder. Under normal circumstances, the system itself is around 10G (macOS Big Sur is 12G). If your system storage is far more than 10G, it must also contain other hidden files.

## Why Does the System Take So Much Space on Mac

Apart from macOS itself, the system storage may also include Time Machine local snapshots, application and system cache files, system log files, unused disk images, etc. Although macOS will automatically detect and clean up these files, it's not always as you expected. Over time, the system eats more and more space, causing your Mac to run slowly. So how to reduce the system storage? Keep reading to learn more.

## How to Clear the System Storage on Mac

### Remove Time Machine Local Snapshots

Do you know that your Mac keeps a local copy of your Time Machine backups in case your external drive becomes unavailable? Your Mac will keep them until space is needed. Why wait until the storage is running out before cleaning them up? You can clean them manually by yourself.

1. Go to Finder> Applications> Utilities> Terminal.

    ![Open Terminal](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/open_terminal_7da8cee248.png)

2. Type in: `tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates`, press the Enter button on your keyboard, and you'll find a list of backups sorted by date.

    ![Find Time Machine Snapshots on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/find_time_machine_snapshots_on_mac_bf958d36f6.png)
    
3. To delete a backup, type this command into the Terminal: `tmutil deletelocalsnapshots "xxxxxxx"`, enter the password for the user account if asked, and press Enter. (Note: "xxxxxxx" stands for the date of the backup you want to remove.)

    e.g. `tmutil deletelocalsnapshots 2021-07-19-095939`

Repeat these steps if you want to delete any or all snapshots.

**Note**: Don't delete your Time Machine local snapshots if you think you might need them one day.

### Clear System and Application Cache

The system and applications you run on your Mac will create cache files in the Library Folder. To reclaim more space for your Mac, you can delete large cache files manually.

![Clear System Caches](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/clear_system_caches_bbb3c39743.png)

1. Go to Finder, click Go in the menu bar, then select Go to Folder.
2. Type `~/Library/caches` and click on the Go button.
3. Sort the files in the list by size and remove the large cache files you don't need to Trash.
4. Go to your Trash and empty it.

**Note**: Some cache files may be essential to your system and applications. If you are not sure whether you can delete them, we strongly recommend that you keep them untouched. There is a safe and simple way to clear cache files, and that is to use [BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com). It is one of the best Mac cleaning software, which allows you to remove the cache files and logs without any hassle. Click [here](https://www.drbuho.com/buhocleaner/download) to download.

### Delete System Log Files

Typically, system logs are the system app's activity and services. They are located in `~/Library/Logs`.

![Clear System Logs](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/clear_system_logs_8aac564c58.png)

1. Open Finder and Click Go>Go to Folder.
2. Type `~/Library/Logs` and press enter.
3. Find the log files you want to delete, select them, and press Command + Backspace.
4. Restart your Mac.

### Optimize Your Storage

Another recommended way to clean up system storage is using the built-in tools of your Mac.

![Optimize Storage](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/optimize_storage_3fdbbe5433.png)

1. Open the Storage Management window.
2. Store in iCloud: store all your files, photos, messages in iCloud.
3. Turn on Optimize Storage and Empty Trash Automatically.
4. Reduce clutter: removing unused files, uninstalling unwanted apps, deleting large files, and more.

**Tip**: To [free up more space for Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/mac-cleaner/how-to-free-up-disk-space-on-your-mac), you can also use BuhoCleaner, an easy, worthwhile Mac cleaner. It allows you to clean and speed up your Mac like a pro. Click [here](https://www.drbuho.com/buhocleaner/download) to download.

### Delete Useless DMG Files

After you install an application, its dmg file will no longer be useful. Follow the steps below to get rid of it from your Mac.

1. Go to Finder.
2. Click the search icon, enter dmg in the search box, select Kind: Disk Image in the new appearing menu.

    ![Find and Delete DMG Files on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/find_delete_dmg_files_on_mac_f062fe9e97.png)

3. Move the unused DMG files to Trash.

How to Clear System Storage on Mac

Wondering why the system takes a large part of the storage for a newly purchased Mac, or why is the file size of other people's systems only 10G, while your system accounts for close to 100G?
In the article, we will introduce to you in detail what system storage on Mac is, why it takes up a lot of space, and how to clean it up.

Let us find the answers together.

<summary>**Summary**: This post will introduce you to what the other storage on Mac is and how to delete it.</summary>

<toc></toc>

Want to update to macOS Monterey or macOS Big Sur but find that there is not enough space? By clicking the Apple icon>About This Mac>Storage, you will find that the "Other" in Mac storage is huge. Therefore, you know that the fastest way to [free up disk space](https://www.drbuho.com/mac-cleaner/how-to-free-up-disk-space-on-your-mac) is, of course, to clear the other storage. But when you click the Manage button and try to see what files are contained in the other storage, you will find that you can't access it at all.

So what exactly is the other storage on Mac? How to clean it up?

Keep reading, and you will find the answers you want.

## What is “Other” in Mac Storage

![Check Other Storage on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/check_other_storage_40b7f3120b.png)

System files and files that the system cannot recognize will be labeled as "Other." Here are some of the contents included in the other storage:

- macOS system and temporary files.
- PDF, .psd, .doc and other files.
- Cache files, such as user cache, browser cache, and system cache.
- Installer packages, such as .dmg and .pkg files.
- Browser plugins and App extensions.
- All other content that does not fall into the main macOS category.

### Can You Delete the Other Storage on Mac

Yes, but be careful. Things like [.dmg files](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/find-and-delete-dmg-files-mac) and leftovers from uninstalled apps are safe to clear. However, when deleting cache files, especially those in the system, you should be careful because you don't know what impact your macOS will have if you delete them by mistake.

As a rule of thumb, if you don't know what the file is or what it does, leave it be. In addition, it is strongly recommended that you make a full backup of your system before deleting anything to avoid disaster.

## How to Clear "Other" Storage on Mac

While we cannot entirely delete other storage, we can reduce it to some extent, such as clearing cache junks, deleting useless documents, getting rid of unneeded downloads, and removing useless application logs and support files.

### Delete Cache Files

There are two ways to delete cached files on Mac. One is to use [BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/), the best Mac cleaner for macOS Big Sur and M1 Macs, and the other is to remove them manually.

**How to Delete Cache Files with BuhoCleaner**

1. Download and install BuhoCleaner on your Mac.
2. Launch it and click the Scan button.

### Delete Downloaded Files

<summary>**Summary**: Looking for ways to disable startup items on your Mac? Then look no further than this post, where you'll find two ways to remove startup items.</summary>

Does your Mac boot up slowly? Does it run lagging when you try to launch an app? If the answers are yes. It's time for you to take control of your startup programs. In this blog post, we have compiled two methods of managing startup items for you. Let's take a look.

<toc></toc>

## Why Should You Disable Startup Items

Startup items, also called login items, are applications and services that run in the background when you start your Mac. Some of them may be added to startup by yourself, while others may not have your permission. More than this, too many startup items will slow down and reduce your Mac performance. Thus, it's necessary for you to disable those unwanted startups.

## How to Disable Startup Items on Mac

### Method 1. Disable Startup Items with BuhoCleaner Easily

[BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com) is a free third-party Mac startup manager that allows you to stop apps from opening on startup quickly and manage launch daemons and agents easily. Below are the steps you can follow:

<step  step='step 1'>[Download](https://www.drbuho.com/buhocleaner/download) and install BuhoCleaner on your Mac.</step>

![Install BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/install_buhocleaner_65ddb895d1.png)

<step step='step 2'>Launch the startup manager.</step>

<step  step='step 3'>Open the Startup Items tab and click the blue Scan button. You'll see two lists: User Login Items and Startup Services.</step>

In the User Login Items list, you can see all the applications that start automatically. To prevent an app from opening at startup, simply change its status to Disabled.

![Disable Login Items](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/disable_login_items_efafa99a58.png)

In the Startup Services list, you can find all the launch daemons and agents in your system. Just disable or delete them according to your needs.

![Disable Startup Services](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/delete_startup_services_99b9fd3324.png)

### Method 2. Disable Startup Items Manually

<step  step='step 1'>Remove Login In Items.</step>

Go to System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items. Select the apps you want to remove from the list and click the Minus (-) button.

![Remove Login Items](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/remove_login_items_794658892c.png)

<step step='step 2'>Remove Launch Daemons and Agents from the Launched Process</step>

Launch daemons and agents can also decrease the startup speed of your Mac. They are stored in the following five folders.

1. `/Library/LaunchDaemons` (for all user accounts)
2. `~/Library/LaunchAgents` (for a specific user account)
3. `~/Library/LaunchDaemons`(for a specific user account)
4. `/System/Library/LaunchAgents` (part of macOS)
5. `/System/Library/LaunchDaemons` (part of macOS)

Open Finder and click Go > Go to Folder to find the folders listed above. Then you can delete the login items that are unnecessary to launch.

![Remove Launch Daemons and Launch Agents](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/remove_launch_daemons_agents_1f5472fc28.png)

**Note**: The last two folders, `/System/Library/LaunchAgents` and `/System/Library/LaunchDaemons`, are essential to your macOS. We strongly recommend you keep them untouched. 

## Conclusion

That's all for how to disable startup items on your Mac. If you don't know much about Mac, using a third-party startup manager such as BuhoCleaner to disable startup programs can be a good choice. But if you don't want to install any software on your Mac, you can [remove programs](https://www.drbuho.com/mac-cleaner/how-to-uninstall-apps-on-a-mac) from startup manually. Go to make your Mac run faster now.

How to Disable Startup Items on Your Mac

Here in this article, you will find two ways to remove startup programs. Click through to find out.

<summary>**Summary**: In the article, you'll learn what a DMG file is and how to delete dmg files after installation manually and automatically. Look no further. </summary>

DMG files are to Mac what ISO files are to Windows. After you install an application, its DMG file is useless. Besides, DMG files will take up disk space and may even decrease the running speed of your Mac. Therefore, it is necessary for you to delete unused DMG files in time.

In this blog post, we'll discuss what a DMG file is and how to quickly clean up a dmg file in two ways.

<toc></toc>

## What is a DMG File

A DMG file is an Apple disk image file used to distribute software and package other non-application files on macOS Big Sur and Mac OS X. When you double-click the .dmg file, a virtual drive will be mounted on your desktop. DMG files are widely used on macOS because they can be fully verified and easily compressed to a smaller size.

### How to Install Apps from DMG Files on Mac

When you want to install a third-party application from the Internet, the first thing you should do is download its DMG file to your Mac. When finished, double-click the DMG file you downloaded, drag the application to the Applications folder, wait a few seconds, and your application will be installed on your Mac.

**Note**: Some DMG files are encrypted, and you may be asked to enter a password before installing them.

### Can You Delete DMG Files After Installation

The answer is yes. After installing an application, you can directly delete its DMG file unless you want to keep it for archival purposes or in case the installation is incomplete. In addition, developers will update the application regularly. If you're going to use its updated version, then the old DMG file is no longer useful to you.

## How to Delete DMG Files on Mac

Deleting DMG files on Mac is easy. Below are two ways you can try.

### Delete DMG Files Manually

1. Go to Finder and click on the search box in the upper right corner.
2. Input 'dmg' and select Kinds > Disk Image in the appearing menu.
